I’ve had my husky for about 7/8ish months now, since he was able to leave his mom. Since then he’s chewed on the coffee table MAAAAYBE twice, and with patience and training hasn’t chewed up anything else. No other furniture, no shoes, no cables, remotes, etc. If it hasn’t been given to him as his toy, he hasn’t chewed on it....

EXCEPT HANDS

I’ve read conflicting information and this is where my question comes in. Do you, and should I let my husky nibble on my hand? He usually goes for it when I’ve come home from work and is excited to see me, or when he’s got some bursts of energy. On rare occasions it’s a very firm, aaalmost painful bite, but he knows the words “ouch” and “gentle” and will usually ease off. Otherwise it’s usually tender.

I’ve read that this is a bad habit and shouldn’t be allowed, to direct him towards a bone or a hard chewing toy instead. I have ALSO read this is a sign of affection for huskies and it’s important to let him do it within reason.

Any advice or other articles would be greatly appreciated.
